Influencer Relations publishes Kea’s research on analyst value. The site is the home of our Analyst Firm Awards and offers insight into other work from the Kea Research team, including SageCircle reports, the Analyst Value Survey and the Analyst Attitude Survey.

Influencer Relations is edited, and mostly written, by Duncan Chapple. Duncan is Managing Partner at Kea Company, directing Kea Research.

Prior to his career in influencer relations, Duncan was a consultant and analyst with Ovum, Europe’s largest technology analyst house. In 2000 he successfully founded and directed the international analyst relations business of what is now Ketchum until joining the board of Lighthouse AR in 2002, leading the firm’s research-driven analyst relations and investor relations services. He played a central role in founding the Institute of Industry Analyst Relations in 2006, and was a member of its founding boards. He joined Kea Company through its acquisition of Lighthouse AR in 2013 and became Managing Partner in 2016.

He has consulted to executives and relationship managers within over 100 companies including Avaya, BT, Cisco, Ericsson, France Telecom, Fujitsu, Hewlett-Packard, Hitachi, IBM, Siemens, Tata and T-Systems.

Duncan’s analytical approach, long ‘hands-on’ technology experience, international experience and relentless curiosity make him a trusted advisor on how corporations can develop brand equity and profitability.
